Essence MK1 main unit
6 replies
Hi Beoworld,
can this device be used like an Beolab-RCA connection extender? So it will swtich on a connected Beolab speaker connected via PL if a signal is detected on RCA input? Im looking for extact that feature.
Thanks in advance!
Hi and welcome to Beoworld!
The answer is 'yes' - the RCA line-in has auto-sense which will trigger the PL and Beolabs. You may well have to set up autosense (sensitivity etc) in the menu, accessible from most browsers or the B&O app. You will also have to set up whether the output should be fixed volume or controllable (via remote or B&O app).

Quick response! Thank you motoGuy.
Im no new member but a very quiet one. ;]
Are there more optional devices with that feature, besides the Beosound Essence MK1 and MK2 you know of?
Ah, I should have checked - you registered nearly 4 years ago, and may well have been on the old forum too!
Here's another device that will carry out the same function: /api/files/bae9439ddde2453f8eb45b71d5f01e6d

My first registration is older then that, but not of any importance.^^
Thanks again, very helpful!
Hi, I'd like to add that Autosense in my Playmaker is a little bit wobbly in my case: Airplay start do work. Line in do work. But cross switch do not work at all.
If I've use line in then Airplay Auto sense doesnt work anymore. Nor if I stop Analogue in nor if it is just hjiacked with an airplay signal. I need the to select the entries with the remote.
Maybe a local issue but needs to be said if your use the Playmaker in heterogenous setup.
Cheers.
